As for jobs ... try : TNT .. .one of many publications that have a long listing of whats available all over the country.
If ya want to earn cash .. get a job on a yacht in antibes or palma .... though you wont have any time for surf. By the way ... to be hoest ... europe is such a huge and diverse continent ... you will have a million other things to do then surf.
Good Luck!

Newquay is the main place...full of surf camps and lodges..shops n surf bars etc...but it gets really busy through summer. Went down last month for the "cribber"...newquays 35 foot wave which was just too scarey for me!! The athmosphere is great in cornwall but France and portugal dont have the crowds,which is a big plus!!!
Enjoy your trip......trust me tho,youll forget about surfing for a while as soon as you get to london...youll find out why!!!
All the best
